If a person is to remain in tune with God's will for their life, they must spend time each day in communication with Him. Unfortunately mankind has come to neglect the most important element of any dialog, Listening! We will talk at God, but usually fail to listen for his answer. We must learn that with the daily use of Scripture, combined with prayer and meditation, we can engage in meaningful communication with our God, and attune ourselves to his will. Martin Luther once said it this way:
- "We cannot attain to the understanding of Scripture either by study or by the intellect. Your first duty is to begin by prayer. Entreat the Lord to grant you, of His great mercy, the true understanding of His Word. There is no other interpreter of the Word of God than the Author of this Word, as He Himself has said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45). Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit. Believe this on the word of a man who has experience".
God centered devotional materials, which, when used in accord with scripture, can help the Christian to focus on the complexities of the human soul, which is where Jesus and the Holy Spirit live within us. Only then can one prepare themselves to address the complexities of the human existence and fortify their spirit against a growlingly perverse and decadent world. In these pages we hope to provide you with nourishment for your Soul to guide you in your quest for the peace which surpasses all understanding in Christ Jesus.
